THE CHANGES IN SERUM ENZYMES IN DOGS WITH GUNSHOT WOUNDS IN LIMBS IN HOT AND HUMID ENVIRONMENT / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To investigate the changes in serum enzymes (ALP、LDH、CK) in dogs suffered from gunshot wounds in limbs in hot and humid environment, 12 dogs were divided into two groups randomly hot and humid environment (HHE) group and normal environment (NE) group. The contents of ALP, LDH and CK in peripheral blood were assayed at 0h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h and 24h postinjury. The results showed that the contents of serum enzymes tended to rise after gunshot injuries, especially CK. The changes in the contents of serum enzymes in HHE group appeared earlier and more obviously than those in NE group. In conclusion, the contents of serum enzymes coincided with the severity of local tissue damage, and change in the content of CK was more sensitive after tissue injury. The results suggested that hot and humid environment would aggravate systemic reactions and tissue damage after gunshot injuries.
